In the twenty years since the last edition of Cataloging Legal Literature was published, the cataloging has changed dramatically. Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new cataloging standard, and it is impossible to overlook just how much the Internet has radically changed the world of legal literature. New to the publication of this edition is co-author Beck, who freely admits in the preface that her contributions are more about what she has learned and is learning rather than what she knows. This statement illustrates the fundamental tenant of the manual, that cataloging legal publications is an ever-changing and developing concept. The authors present information and sometimes unanswered questions to “help a cataloger analyze materials and think like a law cataloger” (xxi).
